Description

When Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin invented the first slideshow presentations software of the PC age in 1987, they couldn't have comprehended that 30 years later, their revolutionary tool would be the catalyst for the hottest nights of slide-show-themed improv the city of Vancouver has ever seen.

This January, we take to Little Mountain Gallery to honour these fine men once more. Kind of.

Slide Show features Vancouver's top improvisors making up presentations on the spot to go with PowerPoint slideshows they've never seen before. For most people, this would be a living nightmare, but for these comedy maniacs, it's the thrill of a lifetime. There will be graphs. There will be clip art. There will be sweet, sweet laughter. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT? (Beer? We've got that too.)

This show has sold out 100-percent of the time since we started doing it in February, so in case this trend continues, you're gonna want to grab tickets in advance. Or if you're looking for the best stocking stuffer of all time, we've got good news: tickets to Slide Show are a one-size-fits-all kinda gift.
